We had a black and white TV back then and so, if they even showed the “Flame Trees,” they never “registered.

However, here I am in Oaxaca, Mexico and I’ve got two African Tulip Trees (aka, Flame of the Forest) hovering over my terrace, bursting with color, providing a modicum of shade, feeding the hummingbirds, and adding to the enchantment of Casita Colibrí.

There was something about the sky, the light, and the trees this morning…

I LOVED the Flame Trees of Thika! Haily Mills I believe was in that series but I don’t know the brunettes name.
My favorite line when the women were talking about the “current situation”, and it went like this: “I know what I would do. I would do what I wanted to do, eventually regret it, but never admit it”
